Heh. The one that just changed their name recently? I still have a few ways of reasoning that they're wrong, but I feel like they're always right. I've been following since like 2015.

Indeed. I wonder how it'll go for the next few years. Feels like 2013, 2017 these days.

Not sure. I feel like I've seen this situation play out before. Parabolic spikes of activity then drops.
